• The lives of the eyewitnesses were
radically changed!
• If I believe it will radically change my life!
Or do you not know that as
many of us as were baptized into
Christ Jesus were baptized into
His death? Therefore we were
buried with Him through
baptism into death, that just as
Christ was raised from the dead
by the glory of the Father, even
so we also should walk in
newness of life.
Romans 6:3,4
